Giants Find Ways to Win

Starting pitcher
Brother Bob

The Giants' star closer Brian Wilson got his second win in 2 days as the team scratched out a come-from-behind win today at PhoneCo Park. With the score tied, Emmanuel Burriss completed his round trip of the bases in the bottom of the 9th without benefit of a hit when the Marlins' Kevin Gregg threw a wild pitch with the rookie infielder at third. He got there by virtue of a walk, a steal, and a fly ball.Interim starter Matt Palmer made quantum-leap progress over his miserable 1st start by throwing 6 solid innings and giving up only 2 earned runs.Incredibly, the lowly Giants have the best record in the NL in one-run games, at 24-12. (I think that's what they said. I need a fact checker.)

I'm happy for Palmer. Never hurts to have more arms. And it is nice to see Burriss work a walk and use his speed. I hope he can start to hit with some authority. Did you see where Lowry is going to pitch winter ball?

I think I'll just make up my own facts from time to time and wait for people to call me on it.MC, I got your booklet the other day. Thanks. What a hoot. We should try 50 word posts, or did we already do that?The Great Man starts tomorrow.Can't wait.
